Condition: Dry Skin
There are a variety of factors that may cause dry skin, however, dry skin is most often caused by two factors; slowing of exfoliation of skin cells and oxidation. The following oxidizing elements cause dry skin:
- Chlorinated water
- Sun exposure
- Air and wind
- Detergents and cleaning solvents
- Heaters and air conditioners
Additionally, as the body ages, the sebaceous glands do not produce as much sebum, the oil that lubricates the skin. Skin cells which normally exfoliate and reach the surface of the skin every day and a half slow down, resulting in abnormal exfoliation causing dry skin.
The Wellness Solution
Our wellness approach can help heal and prevent dry skin by shielding skin against harsh oxidizing elements and normalizing the exfoliation rate of skin. Research now confirms that nature's own vitamin C and vitamin E can:
- Scavenge free radicals that cause oxidation
- Provide a barrier of protection against further oxidation (Clinical Research)
- Penetrate into the deeper layer of the skin to replenish moisture and improve skin's smoothness (Clinical Research)
- Normalize the exfoliation rate of the skin
- Increase collagen synthesis (Clinical Research)
